For the record,
the Midi Controler  "AKAI APC Mini"
has been successfully used
as an input and output device for Livecode.

LiveCode with unusual input devices

[Ben Rubinstein]

Does anyone have (fairly recent) experience using LiveCode to with unusual 
input devices - phidgets, PowerMate, MIDI keyboards or controllers, DMX, etc? 
 On either Mac OS X or iOS?


What's easy?  What works?  Are there good externals or libraries I should know 
about?


TIA,

Ben

I have used the "Service USB Plus" from http://www.bkohg.com 


A pleasure to use. Comes with a framework for LC, as well as other platforms. 
Mainly good for I/O control with external gadgetry. If you wanted to automate 
an alarm system for your house, or create a disco controller, this is perfect.

Re: LiveCode with unusual input devices

Ben, when you say "unusual input devices" you're speaking my language --
this is a passion of mine.  While not current (I haven't set this up in
years), at one time I had a Sega Activator ring talking to LiveCode -- it
was either Revolution or MetaCard back then -- to play a virtual drum set,
using your body as the controller.  Yes, there was some latency, but the
novelty was pretty compelling, especially for kids.  The software for the
interface box is long gone, but it seems like this might still be possible
today using this:
http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Drive-Genesis-Controller-Adapter/dp/B00QRZ1H
VS/


If you're not familiar with the Sega Activator, it was a plastic octagonal
ring you set up on the floor with infrared emitters that bounced off the
ceiling back to the ring.  You stood in the middle of the ring and by
breaking the beams with your arms and legs, you triggered actions on the
console.  Basically a giant controller, the Activator had two levels of
detection and was intended for fighting games, but never took off for many
reasons. It was still a novel concept, especially at the time.
http://segaretro.org/Activator


I imagine something like the Xbox Kinect would be today's equivalent, with
way better resolution and detection.  There are smaller, more intimate
devices such as Leap Motion controller (not tried, sorry), but one
technology that looks really compelling is Google's Project Soli that
detects fine motor gestures using radio waves:

If you have a few hundred bucks, you could pick up a Nintendo Power Glove
on eBay and dominate your (LiveCode) universe:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/111809848197


I'll stop rambling now since I don't have anything currently
tried-and-tested to offer.

I found for nearly every device friends or I needed a "how-to" there was a 
python 'library' to do the 'hardcore' job. You can use this via LC and the 
"shell" function from several platforms.

You can especially use from all LC-Platforms a RaspberryPi (similar: Arduino) 
and its incredible hardware options as "connection point" to the home- or 
building automation.

For MIDI on Mac there is a very high quality external: SunnYmidi by Thierry D. 
( sunny-tdz.com ).

Some time ago, we had a LiveCode meeting about Arduino. LiveCode works 
very nicely with Arduino. Would that be interesting to you? One of the 
people who regularly attends the meetings has a very nice stack to 
control th Arduino.

Re: LiveCode with unusual input devices

Craig.  This looks to be quite useful, but as I don’t read German, it is hard 
to tell.  I have some very unusual USB devices that I would love to use with LC 
on my mac.  Currently, I am stuck with the manufacture’s proprietary software.

  How does Service USB Plus detect the usb devices?  Does it require dlls or 
the equivalent?

The site is in English as well. Find a checkbox somewhere.


The device communicates with the computer via USB. I am not sure how another 
USB device might coordinate. I will ask.
